Welcome to the first episode of Reweaving Systems: From Nervous to Regulated — we begin with the first repair the body ever receives: naming the nervous system.

Many of us were raised inside systems that taught us to override sensation, distrust instinct, and brace long before we learned to breathe. In this opening episode, Jana Shalom introduces the core truth of this lineage: the nervous system is not something to fix, manage, or control. She is someone to come home to.

We reclaim the nervous system’s true name — Shalom, meaning inner peace and wholeness — and explore how naming interrupts the Survival Spiral and initiates return. Through a live somatic demonstration, listeners are guided into real-time awareness of bracing, softening, and reinhabiting the body.

This episode lays the foundation for the entire attunement-based nervous system framework and the Reweaving Systems lineage.

Regulation is not calm.

Regulation is coming home.

Shalom… come home.

Sometime this week, pause and ask:

“What am I noticing in my body right now?”

No fixing. No analysis. Just noticing.
